Excellent high-end choice.

My wife is a potter and she loves this wheel. It is robust and convenient. Her friends come over to her garage studio and they like it, too.

Top of the line

I got this to replace the speedball that came with a bent wheel. Good thing I purchased it on Amazon or I would be stuck with the messed up speedball.The difference is astronomical. Easy to put together. Sturdy. Well beyond my skill level… don’t think I will need another one for a loooong time. Also, it truly is just about silent.

Love the wheel and the fast delivery!

This wheel is so quiet! Love it! I received the wheel sooner than the expected date less then a week! I live in Hawaii and usually it takes Forever for deliveries . The Shimpo wheel was factory packed, and in perfect condition.
